After signing-up for the Community Plan, you will be redirected to web.powerapps.com and will land in your individual environment. The environment is named with your name. e.g. if the user’s name is John Doe then the environment will be named ‘John Doe’s environment’. If there is already an environment with that name, the individual environment will be named as ‘John Doe’s (1) environment’.
